Dwight Manfredi wants to go legitimate, and the premiere shows how badly that plan could backfire. Tulsa King Season 4 Episode 1 landed on Paramount+ on Friday, October 16, starting a ten-week run. Notably, the show has also switched to a new night, since earlier seasons opened on Sundays.

What Time Did Tulsa King Season 4 Episode 1 Come Out?
The premiere went live at 3 a.m. Eastern, which is midnight Pacific, according to Forbes. For viewers abroad, that works out to about 12 p.m. in Pakistan and 12:30 p.m. in India.
If the same time holds each week, those hours shift by one hour from November 6 onward. The reason is simple: US clocks go back on November 1. Even so, local availability can vary, so check your own Paramount+ app.
What Is the Full Tulsa King Season 4 Release Schedule?
Paramount+ releases one episode every Friday instead of dropping the full season at once. Because of that, the run stretches from October 16 to December 18.
| Episode | Release date | Title |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | October 16 | “W.W.D.D.” |
| 2 | October 23 | “Blind Rooster” |
| 3 | October 30 | “Cease & Desist” |
| 4 | November 6 | “Square One” |
| 5 | November 13 | Not confirmed |
| 6 | November 20 | Not confirmed |
| 7 | November 27 | Not confirmed |
| 8 | December 4 | Not confirmed |
| 9 | December 11 | Not confirmed |
| 10 | December 18 | Not confirmed |
Some TV databases already list names for the later episodes. However, Game Rant notes that those titles remain unofficial, so treat them with caution. Release dates can also change.
Where Can You Watch Tulsa King Season 4?
Season 4 streams exclusively on Paramount+, and the official episode page now lists the premiere. The first three seasons also sit on the platform, so newcomers can catch up before the weekly episodes land.
Viewers in India can watch on JioHotstar, according to The Week. In other regions, check your local listings instead of guessing which service carries the show.
What Is Tulsa King Season 4 About?
Dwight, played by Sylvester Stallone, now tries to turn his criminal empire into a legitimate business. Corrupt politicians, dangerous new enemies and a crushing personal loss all press on him at once. Meanwhile, Season 3 ended with the defeat of his old rival Jeremiah Dunmire, which left room for a new threat in New York mob boss “Quiet Ray” Renzetti, played by James Russo.
The premiere’s own description says Dwight’s world “abruptly fractures” just as his crew’s deals start paying off. That tension drives the season: every step toward respectability exposes more of the methods that built the empire.
The returning cast includes Martin Starr, Jay Will, Vincent Piazza, Annabella Sciorra, Frank Grillo and Garrett Hedlund. Gretchen Mol joins as series regular Amanda Clark, a Tulsa politician, while Richie Stephens plays rival supplier English Dan.
Why Does This Season Feel Different From the Last Three?
Three changes stand out. First, the Friday release breaks the Sunday habit that carried Seasons 2 and 3. Second, Terence Winter returns as head writer after Season 3 showrunner Dave Erickson reportedly stepped down amid creative disagreements with Stallone. That account comes from reports, not an official statement.
Third, the wider franchise keeps growing. A spinoff called Frisco King, starring Samuel L. Jackson, has finished filming but has no premiere date yet. Variety reported that a Season 5 writers’ room opened in June, with a possible move to New York for filming. Paramount+ had not formally announced a Season 5 at that point, so fans should wait for official word.
